My new iPad 10th Generation got bent after it overheated. What do

I recently got this iPad for Christmas and it is quite thick so it is likely hard to bend, however one day it got very hot after I used it for a while and when I went to use it in the morning the iPad was bent on one side directly in the mirror where it gets hot. Since then the screen has been slightly coming out and it is not aesthetically pleasing to even look at. Am I the first person to have a bent iPad 10th generation as I cannot find any article about it. Could I get the iPad replaced? Please help.

You could get in touch with Apple support and they can let you know of the steps that you should take. If you are near an Apple Store or Certified Repair Center, then you can make an appointment to have the device looked at and they can guide you with the next actions to be taken. If it is still under warranty and can be determined that it wasn’t damaged by mishandling or anything then they may help get it replaced. If it is determined that it was by mistreatment that it is damaged Apple will most likely leave it up to you to get it repaired or replaced and will be able to let you know what it is going to cost.

No one here is associated with Apple as we are just users like yourself. Your only option is to take the iPad to an Apple Store or authorized Apple service provider for examination. Whether you can get a warranty replacement will be determined after the examination. But be aware that accidental damage is typically not covered by any warranty.
